Everything is settled, immovable and calm

 Nothing that has plagued our lives can ever do us harm

 Then the voices railed against us, then the path was steep

 Now the sounds are softer, now the road is ended

 In your arms, I'll sleep

 

 Turn away from madness, burn the inner light

 Pray for me as cheerfully as I slip into the night

 Death is just a visitor watching for a while

 Sullen and predictable, love is versatile

 

 

 Everything is peaceful, and falling into place

 I no longer feel the wounds suffered in the chase

 Then we were at turns divided, then by turns oppressed

 Now the pain is over, now we lie together

 Gratefully at rest

 

 

 Put aside the notion that the end is near

 Stay with me eternally, the terrors disappear

 Death is just a messenger in a poor disguise

 Fooling no one, lost for words, love is in your eyes

 

 

 Now we know as we are known, unimagined things

 Death is just the messenger, love the truth it brings
